When the CNCF Platforms Working Group published the Platform Engineering Maturity Model in late 2023, it felt like an important milestone.

Abby Bangser, Founding Principal Engineer at Syntasso, sat down with Cory O’Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Massdriver, and delved into the nuances of building effective internal platforms.  Drawing from real-world implementations, Abby explored how platform teams can strike the right balance between standardisation, flexibility, and service-oriented thinking.

At KubeCon, Phill Morton and Abby Bangser delivered a workshop that championed the principle that “working code wins.” Drawing on the experience at The Access Group (TAG), the UK’s largest software business headquartered in the UK, Phill and Abby showcased how internal platforms, particularly those powered by Kratix and Kubernetes, can accelerate innovation and enable scalable developer self-service.
